Here is the latest photo of our little pink angel.

Dear Friends and Family

We cant believe that just in tow more days we will be leaving our beloved Pemba. It feels so strange to be packing up our house and giving away our belongings once again. To be completely honest I think it is scarier for us to be moving back to the states than it was for us to move here. We have defiantly become accustomed to this life style. Musy and I are resting assure that we know we are in His plan and His timing. If it wasn’t for His perfect peace we would be complete wreaks.

Here are some family updates.

Bella, our newest member of the family is growing each and every day. Instead of growing larger she is much more ladylike and is getting longer and longer. She looks so much like her mother. Besides the midnight to 4 am crying she has settled into our routine. I cant wait for you all to meet her, she is absolutely stunning.

Joshua, is now walking all over our house. It was like he woke up one morning and decided that today was the day and he hasn’t looked back since. I cant tell you the feeling of arriving home after working all day and Joshua is there waiting at the door for me saying DA-DA! DA-DA! Each time is see it my heart melts.

Musy, She is blossoming into a super mom watching over two babies that both need her attention 24/7. It has been rough on the both of us but we know we just have to keep moving. A few weeks ago we were able to travel for a few days and it was great for her to get out and as a family see parts of Mozambique we have never seen before.

And last but not least. I am doing fine. As you all know I have taken over this enormous project for the Bakers o starting up a drilling ministry for Iris. I have put a year of blood sweat and tears into it and planed on leaving iris with everything in place. Because of congestion in the ports my containers containing the large drilling rigs wont be arriving in Pemba until the day we leave, funny how it works out that way. The great thing is that an amazing missionary is going to be taking my place and I know that he will pick up everything I have started and run with it. A week ago Heidi held prayed for me and stopped and wrapped her arms around me and said “well done”. It was nice to hear that from her.

Our Plan

Fly out on Saturday the 27th and fly to Johannesburg. Then from there we fly direct to Atlanta. Yes that is a direct 18 hr flight with two babies. (PRAY FOR US) From Atlanta we head to Boston and should be there by Sunday afternoon.

We will rest at my parents house for one day and then on Tuesday we drive to Harrisburg PA for the voice of the apostles conference. We will be getting ordained on the 31st the first night of the conference, and will be staying for the remainder of the conference. I found out last night that Musy and I might be sharing during one of the workshops, it should be fun.
After the conference we will be driving to Moravian Falls to spend some time with some friends and dial down and meditate on the Lord, that should be fun as well. From there we have a few small thing but will be spending time with family, much like we would if we were coming back from Mozambique on a visit. I will have to update you on what happens next.

We love you guys and thank you for your prayers. Please lift our family up as we travel and transition to the Lords calling.

Blessings

Will, Musy, Joshua and bella.

We captured joshua standing on his own for the first time. Check out the clip and see. I know that this is not the most interesting stuff but I am a proud dad.
